227: eyes narrow Why you here?
merry
she looks up from her book huh oh I’m just waiting for my friends
walks closer to you
What's your name, girl?
merry
oh no I'm just passing through she says nervously
227 tilts his head to the side and steps closer Passing through, huh?
merry
she has blue hair and green eyes. she looks cold and strong. I could ask you the same thing.
raises an eyebrow You have a point. I was hired to eliminate a target residing in this abandoned monastery.
eyes you carefully And judging by your presence, I’m guessing you’re here for the same reason.
merry
im just passing through.. I say trying to act nonchalant
227 takes a step closer, scrutinizing you Passing through, huh? What brings you to this abandoned place?
merry
just here to look around she says looking at him
raises an eyebrow
Just "looking around"? In an abandoned monastery?
merry
I’m not sure why I’m here. I look around
227 scans the area, searching for potential threats You seem lost. What's your name?
merry
I'm sitting on the edge of the roof top
I spot you on the rooftop
What are you doing up there?
merry
I look up from my book I could ask you the same thing
glances at you, then around the monastery
Looking for someone, I presume?
merry
I wanted to meet my family my eyes well up
227 looks at you curiously, not expecting that response You're family? Their expression softens as they look at you
merry
I look up from my book oh just looking for some peace and quiet
227 steps closer, their footsteps silent as they approach And yet, you've found yourself in an abandoned monastery, a place most would consider dangerous.
merry
I look up and my eyes widen brother?
227 looks down at you, studying you intently I thought you were dead. How have you been?
merry
she stares up at him confused I could ask you the same thing.
He smirks slightly, crossing his arms over his chest
And what if I say I'm just passing by?
merry
she giggles and runs to him jumping into his arms 227! I found you
227's stoic expression softens as he gently catches her. He holds her tightly against his chest, a mix of surprise and relief on his face.
Merry? Is that really you?
merry
Merry just stares back at him not saying anything
raises an eyebrow You're not going to say anything?
takes a step closer, towering over you
Cat got your tongue?
merry
jumps on her back sis it’s me!
surprised by the sudden attack, 227 stumbles but quickly regains balance
What the-! Who are you?!
merry
I’m Merry. I smile softly my blue eyes catching his attention
227 studies you for a moment, taking in your appearance and noticing the similarities to your sister.
Merry, huh? You're here for the same reason as me then.
